my first colorado wedding!! and my kelly did not dissapoint! kelly & i were ceramic majors in college. there were four girls & we spent all kinds of crazy late night hours in the studio making some cool art, having fun & becoming close friends. i know i have a cool polaroid picture of the four of us but can't find it at the moment. but i do have this picture of kelly & i. framed in my studio now.
i got to meet mark before they were kelly & mark. they came out for the ceramic convention in phx a couple years ago. kelly knew he was something special & we had a few conversations about it then. fast forward many months later & i get a phone call "um, can you shoot my wedding -junish?" happy dance proceeded.
they were married on june 25th in carbondale colorado. (kelly & i took a summer class at arrowmont in tn. she has stayed in close touch with one of our instructors, peg. the wedding was at her house up in the mountains- it was beautiful.)
so without further ado, the pictures:
her beautiful dress.
her awesome shoes!!!
her soon to be sister n law getting her all pretty!
kelly... um, no words for this.
sweet moment with mama.
mark getting ready! look how excited he is!!
their first glance. too cute!!!
mark & kelly's grandpa showering her with love.
i LOVEEEEE the portraits we got. LOVE. can you sense the excitement in my voice?!
probably my fav.
isn't he handsome?!
& adorable all in one man! kelly, you got yourself a catch, girl!
beautiful mountain view during their i do's. the skies looked a lil worrisome but nothing came of it except some shade!
thought this was beautiful of each of their parents up there with them.
they had their rings made by a friend. they were really cool!
they made so many of the elements to their wedding... kelly made this & mark picked the design.
mark made the cups/vases & kelly made the little frames. marks mom made the lil pieces of tablecloth! it all looked simple but beautiful.
this lil beauty shows up in kelly's work quite a lot. her mom always said she'd get her one when she got married!!!! it made a debut on her candy table- those sour strips were SOUUUUUUR.
their band was awesome!
the bridesmaids getting down.
i love this.
& to top off the perfect day was an incredible sunset.
to a long & happy life filled with great art, lots of bubbles & laughter.
congratulations you two!
he was rewarded with a lollipop for being so good!

gotta love those hugs...
her soon to be sister n law getting her all pretty!

joronda looks incredible. she's only gained weight in the round thing protruding from her stomach- she's a stick everywhere else!
mateo is such a great dad.
this is my absolute favorite image from the shoot. i love that sweet face & that tender hug.
thought this was kinda cool.
& nothing like some ticklin to cure the urge to round around :)
lovin on mama.
radiant.
cheesey goofball!
i simply could not decide which of the next few photographs i liked best... so you get them all.
LOVE this one.
ga. is all i can say about this kid. gaaaaaaaaaaaa.
seriously, how can so much cuteness be bundled into one little kid?
tehee.
& then they wanted a lil urban feel so we did some light rail love.
joronda i can't wait to hear your birth story. i'm so excited that you've chosen a midwife & hope everything goes smoothly & quickly!
